Society & Culture - 1 January 2007

I was praying last night. I asked God to help me on Yahoo answers today. He said that someone hear needs to know that he loves them. That he had you personally in mind when he went to the Cross and bore your sins in his body on the tree. You are important to him. You will never stop thinking. Your name is in the Book of Life until you take it out by unbelief in the saving work of Jesus Christ. He has a plan and a purpose for your life.
"He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not believe in the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him" ( John 3:36)

Many seem to assume that God doesn't control every detail in the universe, but he allows natural laws to control most of it. How does one know when one is observing natural laws in action or God's hand?
How can I observe this difference when I see an event occuring (hurricane, tornado, radiant light)? What makes it stand out as God's doing?

Believers only please, I can assume the alternate response. Thanks!

If the Bible is the inerrant word of "God", why does it contain so many factual errors and contradictions, such as the two contradictory accounts of Creation in Genesis?

I am a person who loves Jesus with all my heart. He is the Risen Lord. He died for our sins and to give us life everlasting.

However, after much study and thought, and much prayer, I have concluded that evolution probably occurred, that it was God's amazing method of creating the incredible diversity of life on this Earth.

I just asked here at Yahoo Answers if, though I have come to believe in evolution, I am still saved by the grace and forgiveness of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I was surprised by the number of people who said no. Some of them said that you have to believe the entire book to be saved.

Can this be possible? That though the grace and glory of a just and loving God, a murderer can be forgiven, but a person who believes in evolution cannot be?

I ask this question in the name of Jesus Christ. All Praise to the Lord.

It's me old Billy C again with another question for ya if ya have the time to answer.

Well I live in the south where there are a lot of baptists and such and they are big on sending their young ones to bible camps in the summer time. Well a couple of years ago some of the kids from one of the big old baptist churches went to bible camp for a couple of weeks and had a good old time and all learning about religion and Jesus and all and how if you just put all of your faith in Jesus anything would be possible for you because he would never let bad things happen to someone that believed hard enough.
As I said they all had a good old time at camp, but on the way home while going down the highway at 65mph one of the kids, a 14 year old decided that he could step out of the back of that bus and Jesus would keep him safe, he did his part and stepped out, but sadly Jesus didn't show up to do his part, so my question is where was Jesus when this happened, and is faith really worth spit?

1. I am 100% certain of the existence of God.

2. I cannot ever be certain of his existence but I believe strongly that he does and live my life accordingly.

3. I am quite uncertain, but I would prefer to believe there is a god than that there is not.

4. Perfectly agnostic - it is equally likely as not that a god exists.

5. I don't know whether god exists or not but I doubt it.

6. It's not possible ever to be 100% certain of his non-existence but I am as sure as it is possible to be based on the evidence that there is no god.

7. I am 100% certain that god does not exist.

This is not my list, I've borrowed it, but it looks like a good template for guaging the spectrum of opinion on this forum.

What about jewish groups? When Mel Gibson made his film the passion they made him take out the line "his blood be on our heads and on our childrens heads" and he did !!! . Does that mean thats not part of the Bible anymore ? Who's right the Jewsih groups or the Bible? How can Christians follow a religion which keeps changing its book?!?

OK, I'm worried that I might be gay. I masturbate to gay porn, and I fantasize about having sex with guys. I like some girls, and I have a girlfriend. I really love spending time with her and kissing her, but I'm not really excited about the thought of having sex with her. Is there any way I can become more straight? I really don't want to be gay.

Leading thinkers say that people's fascination for religion and superstition will disappear within a few decades as television and the internet make it easier to get information, and scientists get closer to discovering a final theory of everything.

The web magazine Edge (www.edge.org) asked more than 150 scientists and intellectuals: "What are you optimistic about?" Answers included hope for the end of organised religion and growth of enlightenment.

As a born again christian I am deeply saddened by this vision of the future.

If I were to not have my religion any longer, I would not be able to go to church, pray or hate gays and moslems. Thus my life would have no meaning any longer.

Who else thinks this future trend will leave them in a bad way?
